I've only just identified something which has been bugging me for literally years.
Why does the executioner Fudge brings to kill Buckbeak use an axe?
Seriously, one Avada Kedavra and it's done with zero pain, zero mess and zero effort.
Possible arguments and why I think they're wrong.
Not every ...
Can anyone explain if the Grandfather paradox really contradicts to the ending of Dark ?
So in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke parts ways with the rest after The Battle of Hoth and trains with Yoda.
In the meantime Han and company evade the Imperial fleet, land in a space worm and then end up in Cloud City.
Some people think there is a plot hole here, Luke's training would have take...

We know the snap kills half the population on the planet it's performed, so why for instance does spider-man die? He wasn't on earth when the snap happened. One can argue it's because he was born on earth or lives on earth, but then why did Drax or mantis die? I'm pretty sure they've never even b...

A thought just crossed my mind after a saw this post on reddit:
If I remember correctly the new Avatar is born when the last on dies (I could be wrong it's quite a while ago that I last watched Avatar).

In Black Mirror Bandersnatch (2018), Stefan shows his 3D Maze game to Mohan's team. Meanwhile
Satpal brought chocolates to Mohan:
Satpal: Here you go.
Mohan: Happy Birthday to me.
(Colin says to Stefan)
Colin: Sorry, mate. Wrong path
What "Wrong path" is Colin referring to?

They obviously fly at different speeds and to different places, so why do they almost always arrive at breakfast? Several scenes show hundreds of them arriving at the same time, so it's unlikely to be a coincidence.
Why was this question edited after nearly 4 years?
What was the purpose?
It does not seem to serve any purpose what so ever?
What was the reason?

At the end of The Thing prequel Kate questions Sam that he's missing his ear ring. Sam points to the wrong ear - but if he's a perfect imitation wouldn't he have known what ear the ear ring was on ? Moreover, when he was assimilated in the spaceship, would he not have remembered to put the ear ri...
I saw this Soviet sci-fi movie in the '80s, but think it was made earlier, maybe '60s/'70s? A very few aliens come to Earth, to Russia, I guess. One of them, a blonde woman (perhaps after shape-shifting?) falls in love with a local man. But the authorities are on the aliens' tail. In the clima...

In the Extended Edition of The Return of the King movie, in the scene at the Black Gate, the Mouth of Sauron comes out to parley with the company. Eventually, he presents Frodo's Mithril shirt to Gandalf, and delivers the taunt that eventually leads Aragorn to decapitate him:
The Halfling was de...

Faramir: I did what I judged to be right.
Denethor: What you judge...

Before people get their backs up about the word "allegory" because of Tolkien's perceived dislike of it based on that particular quote, feel free to replace the world "allegory" with "applicability". I believe that Tolkien was simply making a semantic distinction in that quote, and there are many...

Throughout the Lord of the Rings, the key tactical advantage that the Fellowship had was that their plan to destroy the One Ring remained secret, to the point that it's even stated that going to war with Mordor was merely a distraction to keep Sauron's Eye away from Frodo (I forget where it is st...

In the Extended Version of The Return of the King, when Aragorn uses Narsil to defend from the Witch King's sword, the Witch King replies:
That line was broken!
However, for as long as I can remember watching this scene as a kid (in the theatrical cut), I remember the line being:
That blade wa...

How many people were killed via Death Note, regardless of who the user was, in the original anime?
